I like the center shaft to lens. I took off the Y shaped part because all of my lenses have screw mounts. But the sad part is this thing can never fully grip the 15mm carbon fiber rods I use. It will slip with moderate force.

I use a series of heavy lenses, but Cine and Anamorphic. While my camera has a solid mount design, that's a lot of weight (2 pounds and heavier) on my rig. The Nitze 15mm Universal Lens Support works great! It's easy to connect on your 15mm rods and has a single thumbscrew to tighten in place on the left. Multiple hight extensions are provided including a nice "roller" style support in the event a lens doesn't have a threaded mount on it. In the images, I show my 50mm Sirui Venus full frame anamorphic lens (~2 pounds) being supported by the 1/4" extension threaded directly into the built-in lens mount.Even if I turn my rig sideways for some reason, the threaded attachment will continue to provide support versus the many competing support products that simply has a Y shaped extension but no threaded connection.

I needed a universal lens support for a small budget camera rig I was putting together. Being a relatively tiny rig that just needed some help supporting a heavier anamorphic lens, the price had to match the scale of the kit, so cost was a factor. I've purchased a few Nitze products in the past, all being kind of niche pieces of gear no one else made. Nitze design is typically no-nonsense and clean, and highly functional. This lens support is no different. A few other companies make similar items for around $100, but at $60 this was perfect. I comes with a few posts to adapt various thread sizes, as well as an extension for the 1/4-20. It also features a small amount of left/right adjustment to accommodate a rig that might not be perfectly centered on a set of 15mm rods. As mentioned before, the design is simple and clean, and the construction and function of the support is solid. Highly recommended.

The clamp seems secure on my 15mm rods (I saw another review saying it was not). It came with different screw adapters that I was able to use to secure into my lens. I've never had a lens this nice before, and have not had to seek out lens supports before buying this product, but I'm happy with it. I also tried a "Y" shaped lens support from another brand, but it felt a little sloppy. I also have a monitor cage from Nitze and have been pretty satisfied with the quality so far.

The support bracket broke off the very first time I tried to install it. You must screw it into a rod to fit your lens height; when I did so, it immediately broke off, rendering this product useless. As such, it's completely defective. Buyer beware.

The lens support didn’t quite work in the particular way I wanted it to. Their top priority was rectifying that and making sure their design worked with my needs.The original design is strong and the product is bullet proof.

Easily the best bang for your buck for 15mm lens support. This unit comes with additional pieces to work the majority of cinema or photo lenses.

8I really like the overal idea of this lens support. It is quite versatile as far as its heights adjustment and thread options.I sadly have to nock 2 stars off as the rod block does not clamp down securely to the 15mm rods. No matter how tight I screw it on I can slide it along the rods which are a fairly high quality rod made by Shape that are an accurate 15mm in diameter.
